Very Happy with my purchase
December 6, 2022

I had wanting to purchase the title I did for quite a while. I was very happy with the book itself (a colored pencil instruction book) and wished I had ordered it earlier.

BooksRun delivered the book much faster than I expected and it was very well packaged to protect the book. I look forward to ordering from them again. Excellent service.

Do not give them your money
January 5, 2023

I attempted to purchase a book and clicked the wrong edition, when I followed the "return" guidance within 30 minutes I was told they could not honor my request to cancel the order prior to shipping it because it had already been packed for mailing…in less than 30 minutes of me paying. Then I was told I had to wait for the 'wrong' book to arrive at my home, pay for shipping and mail it back in order to get a refund. Bad business.

Book in very good condition!
December 6, 2022

The book is great condition and I will use it as a gift. The order took a bit longer to arrive, but that was OK (particularly at this busy time of the year).

Happy Customer
December 6, 2022

Very quick service. Though the book was listed as "Used. Good condition", I couldn't tell the difference between it and a new one. Very happy!

I live in Philadelphia. I ordered this book from a bookstore located in Philadelphia according to its address, expecting that the book would then be received within 2 or 3 days. Instead it arrived more than 3 weeks later
